I am running KDE2. I have an older system with 3.4R and XFree86 3.3.6. On this old system I have in my .xinitrc file: xset dpms 600 600 600 which shutdowns the monitor after 10 min of inactivity. I can even type xset dpms 1 1 1 from the command line as a normal user and blank the monitor in 1 second. However, when I added these commands to .xinitrc on my new system, nothing happens. And, typing xset dpms 1 1 1 from the command line has no affect. I have also tried xset +dpms to turn on the Screen Saver, but this also appears to have no affect. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
